Michael qualified for the final at the latest round of the world indoor championship in Marseille, France, by finishing ahead of Loris Gubian in the non televised knock out round earlier in the evening.

Riding in front of the live TV cameras he had to ride first through the sections , showing the way to all the other riders, but finished only a few marks behind experienced world rider Jeroni Fajardo at the end of the evening.
